It Got Away (Bonus Track)

(альбом: Games People Play - 1969)

Well, the saddest thing I've ever heard
Was just a common little word, "Goodbye"
But it's better far than holding on
To something that we know is gone on by

Well now, don't it kinda make you sad
When you watch a good love go bad
Right before your eyes?
What a cruel surprise
When you lose a good thing

We had it, but it got away
Talking 'bout the love that we knew yesterday
The world was ours
Sunshine and flowers
But now it's going, going, going, gone
It got away

You know there's nothing I could say or do
Would really mean a thing to you anymore
So what's the use of begging you to stay
I know that you would only say "What for"?

Well, now, don't it just break your heart
When you see a good love fall apart
Right before your eyes?
Mm-mm, what a cruel surprise
When you lose a good thing

We had it, but it got away
Talking 'bout the love that we knew yesterday
The world was ours
Sunshine and flowers
But now it's going, going, going, gone
It got away

Darling, we had it
But it got away
I'm talking 'bout the love we knew yesterday
The world was ours
Sunshine and flowers
But now it's going, going, going, gone
It got away
